rosengirlNo this isn't another post to express my hatred of RTD over his quote of doom.
I wasn't even supposed to post about it but![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
frelling_tralk made such a brilliant meta on the subject that I had the urge to pimp it since I couldn't agree more.
Oh look ! Coherent thoughts.
She particulary nailed that part :
Martha is going to be appearing in a spin-off, as well as continue in DW. All of this surely points to the fact that she is meant to be a kick-ass character in her own right, and that RTD does appreciate her. Martha's character didn't need the Doctor to fall in romantic love with her, especially when the audience all know the reason why that didn't happen, and it had nothing to do with Martha's flaws.I mean heck plenty of people did fall for Martha.
And for the record, I'm as hardcore a Martha fan as you can get. This was the only comment I made responding toyourfavoritesky's post yesterday :
He (RTD) was repeatedly surprised at people who thought he didn't like Martha. I think he meant to say that the Doctor and Martha couldn't just have the same kind of bond that the doctor had with Rose, which does not make her any less special in her own right. It was just poorly phrased.
Thing is I refuse to harsh my squee from the Voyage of the Damned trailer so that's my interpretation.
As for mah squee ? Still intact.
Especially since David Tennant and John Simm are publicly dating again, and Freema is still breathtakingly gorgeous, so WTF ever fandom. :p

If they had deliberately introduced a rubbish companion to follow Rose, then that would have been missing the point of the arc RTD was planning on. Whether it was a good arc or down is down to viewers personal preference, but it certainly wasn't there to say that Martha wasn't as good as Rose as a person

I've never saw it like that but that's trufaxx. And the huge number of Martha fans is a testament of the fact that she's far from being second best as a companion.
